WTT: 3D printing service for some quality measured resistors
« on: February 26, 2017, 11:48:29 pm »
Need something (or even a few things) printed on a 3D printer but don't have one yet?

I can print it for you and mail it to you at no charge (assuming shipping is reasonable -- it is in the states).   All I'd like in return are some quality resistors measured and values recorded with a very well calibrated 6 digit multimeter, so I can use them as a reference point to test my multimeters.  I assume that decent resistors don't really drift in value much over the years no? (I could be wrong but I am not that picky either.. my meters are only 4.5 and 5.5 digits -- can't afford 6.5 meter).   The resistors don't have to be the super expensive $15-25 ones.. maybe three different values in the $1-$5 range.   Whatever 3 values you think would be best to use as a 3 way reference.

If you need a lot printed, I wouldn't mind the expensive Vishays :) I think the ones Dave use (the two) are like $15 & $25 each oh my!  That'd be a lot of printing !  But I'd so do it for them :)  But again, the cheaper ones are okay for less print jobs :)

Thanks :)

I've got a bunch of old wirewound precision (0.1% to 0.005%) resistors pulled from precision test gear.  I'd be happy to verify a couple with my calibrated HP 3456A and send them your way. :)

Send me a PM.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; e.g., Cheez Whiz, Hot Dogs and RF.
